[18:36] Is there a go-to VNC (or other remote desktop protocol) that integrates best with MATE? [18:36] VNC server* [18:36] Use case is for my father, who's been using Linux day-to-day for his work since before I was born, but never really picked up the troubleshooting skills; so want to be able to control his screen when needed. [18:57] Check out https://epoptes.org === Aaron is now known as Aro [19:01] Woah! Might be overkill for my purposes but really cool to know about. [19:12] cnuulhu, i don't use mate currently, but gnome connections might be an easy one? [19:14] Looking for the server, not the client, but yes asking if there's anything that's similarly standard on the server side. [19:15] So choosing between tightvnc, x11vnc, and xrdp, but can't find any good comparison between them. [19:18] cnuulhu, i haven't used remote desktop a lot under linux do can't really advise.... cnuulhu, i would ask this in #ubuntu , you'll get twice the response. [19:18] *so [19:21] Many thanks. [19:21] Shall do. That on Libera as well? [19:21] yeah -> #ubuntu [19:38] cnuulhu: it needs 1 MB RAM, so it's the lightest there is [19:38] It only invokes the vnc when needed [19:38] And, your father doesn't need port forwarding; only you need it [19:39] and he also doesn't need a static ip or a dyndns one [19:39] Oh, dang, that's really nifty. [19:40] Not needing port forwarding is a big plus. [19:41] xrdp would give you a separate session, not the one your father works on [19:42] x11vnc is used by epoptes, it's very nice but not automated; epoptes automates it [19:42] tightvnc is fine too; x11vnc is lighter though [19:46] Aaand you gave me the comparison I was looking for, in addition to a great recommendation. Thanks! [21:21] hey
